Treatment of influenza and its prevention

SARS and flu are the most common infectious diseases, since they account for about ninety-five percent of all reported cases of infectious diseases.The biggest risk to the sick human influenza - a possible complication. For example, the risk of developing pneumonia as a consequence of suffering influenza is about fifty percent. flu - a disease of the respiratory tract, which has caused an acute course and different strains of influenza virus.The disease is considered to be highly contagious and affects all people, regardless of age and gender.The virus is transmitted from human to human influenza air - droplets through coughing or sneezing.The disease is often accompanied by high intoxication of the whole body, causing the blood vessels become "brittle" and in consequence of this increased permeability.Therefore, patients suffering from bronchial asthma and diabetes fall into a special risk group, because the penetration into the body of influenza viru

s can lead to serious consequences.
